The program draws from early Spanish and Portuguese music and connects it with contemporary Latin American popular and folk music. It presents the Latin American heritage and the region's astonishing synthesis of African, Arabic, and European traditions in a unique fusion. Rumbarroco, an ensemble of acclaimed artists from different latitudes, led by Radcliffe-Harvard fellow and past Brandeis University resident-scholar Laury Gutiérrez, will combine music from past and present, including Renaissance and Baroque compositions and Latin American works, to create this vibrant Latin-Baroque musical fusion.
Music from the Trujillo Codex, Coimbra manuscript 50, Saldivar Codex, and others.
